“Seaman Princess Petunia” is kicking back in smelly Java, Indonesia ... going to the movies, mostly. She liked the new “Robin Hood” film. Why is the US Coast Guard in Java? Nobody knows ...

Indonesia is the first WestPac port she hasn’t liked *at all*. I hope they move on soon.

I did Rolling Thunder for nine years.

Only 11 hours from Boston on a Sportster.
